A subscriber sends us the following
sensible letter on the mill subject:
see by your paper that the legisla-
ture has passed bill empowering
Worthlngton to issue bonds to the
amount of sixteen thousand dollars for
water works. That looks like business.
But hold on. Don't get it all on one
side. Have that bill amended. Just
take off slice, say five thousand, for a
custom mill, which would be Of untold
value to Worthiugton and the sur
rounding country, that is, if there is II
practical miller at the head of it. For
you have all the mill now that you
need, without 4 miller.
OF course you need water works for
fire protection more than anything else.
But 4 Fl. st class custom mill, run in Il
first class manner. would give Worth
ingtOn such boom us she never has
had in the way Of business. The point
is a good one if there wasn't a bushel
a wheat raised within twenty miles of
there; but there is and there will be
more raised in the near future than
| there has been in the past. Put a pin
down there, will you? l could give my
reasons for thinking so. but will let it
pass. A mill there will have no trou
ble IN getting all the grain it wants,
and will find ready market for all the
bran and shorts it will have to sell,
and there is no reason why it should
not supply the home consumption of
